Lissen up, 'cause I'm only gonna say this one more time before I start repeating myself -
You are full of maybey's and might-be's, as well as being full of some other stuff. You are also this >< close to needing a referrral for some serious psychiatric help about this paranoia you keep displaying. (I'll retract all of that if you pay my expenses to your Wal-Mart so I can follow you around and document that everything you say is happening, and then buy me dinnner.)
Dr. Bruce is a well-meaning guy but does not seem to me to have a sufficient handle of Virginia-specific law (statute he is fair on, but he is wanting regarding case law). While User's seminar (if he ever gives another one) would be best, our own Pro-Shooter does an excellent job although in your case I would recommend a private class with him.
I know that one guy on another thread who wrote that his wife is a manger at walmart and that it is their policy to follow all open carriers for their entire visit. If this is the case so be it; I would just like to know it.
WalMart's official policy, as has been documented so many times it is rediculous, is to follow state law. While I have never been in a Wal-Mart in VB, I hasve been in others all across Va and in other states where OC was legally permitted and never been blatantly shadowed or harassed by LP. There was that one jackwagon with a toddler who made some very stupid comments about me wanting to shoot his kid, but store security and the local cops took him out of the store in Roanoke while thanking me for reporting him and his behavior.
If you are dropping 10 large in Wal-Mart every year you need to introduce yourself to the manager, along with your receipts. I'll bet they offer to set you up with a consierge service, or at least a cart pusher.
Yes, I am calling your bluff on everything you say. Set up a meeting with me to shadow you and document what you say happens or shut up.
And whether you take my challenge or not, please put away your guns until you get over your paranoid desire to find some excuse to shoot someone. Even if you are actually being followed by 300-pound gorillas you have not provided any evidence of their desire, let alone an attempt, to body-slam you, your wife, your kid or your kid's stroller. Even if your allegation that several LP JBTs close in around you is accurate, you have provided nothing to indicate that they have expressed any desire or intent to actually touch you, your wife, your kid or your kid's stroller. The only thing you have provided is some links to some videos of some LP JBTs behaving badly towards some folks. (As I have not viewed them I have no idea if those folks were assaulted or if the LP JBTs were instead defending themselves from someone attacking them. And I have no intention of bothering to view those videos.) What you fail to realize is that the actual number of LP JBTs that behave that way, compared to the total number of LP persons, is exceedingly small. While that does not mean you will never encounter a LP JBT it does mean the odds of doing so are exceedingly slim.
And if you are dropping 10 large in Wal-Mart every year you need to introduce yourself to the manager and ask why you are being treated the way you say you are being treated. (See my other comment about this above.) And if the local store manager is not impressed with your spending habits, you can find the contact numbers for the district and regional managers just by calling Wal-Mart and asking for their name, phone number, and probably their email address as well. Or you can Google corporate customer service in Bentonville and discuss your concerns with them.
I actually do expect that anybody that has made it to high school to be able to figure out most of this stuff about contacting Wal-Mart. That you do not know how to Google the information raises additional questions about you and your story.
In closing - set up a meeting with me so I can shadow you and your family at Wal-Mart to document your claims or admit you are making all of this stuff up out of your very fertile but very paranoid mind. If it turns out what you are saying is even close to what I observe I will not only publically apologize but will assist you in trying to get it stopped - up to and including accessing civil court process.
stay safe.
